Hunting for Meaningful Discoveries in a Rising Market
As gold pushes above US $4,000 per ounce, the market for precious metals equities has roared back to life. Capital is once again flowing into exploration and discovery, but as veteran resource investor Jeff Phillips reminds us, not all projects are created equal.
With three decades of experience and strategic stakes in over a dozen junior companies, Jeff has long championed quality over hype. His approach aligns closely with the prospect-generator model : building value through geological expertise, strong partnerships, and careful capital allocation rather than dilution driven speculation.
“I’m looking for people who are elephant hunters-teams going after deposits that truly matter,” Jeff says. “A lot of companies are chasing roadkill. The difference is in the people, the projects, and the patience to let value develop.”
At Almadex Minerals, that philosophy is foundation. Led by geologist Dr. Morgan Poliquin, Almadex applies decades of regional experience to identify large-scale copper-gold porphyry systems across North America. With a strong treasury, in-house drilling capability, and multiple drill-ready projects, the company is positioned to capture the upside of this metals cycle while minimizing dilution, a hallmark of the true prospect generator approach.
As Jeff notes, successful companies in this market will be those that raise capital strategically, hit meaningful milestones, and create real value as metals prices rise. For investors seeking exposure to discovery driven upside in a strengthening gold-silver environment, Almadex Minerals embodies the long-term, high-conviction strategy that seasoned investors respect.
Almadex Minerals' CEO Morgan Poliquin on Discovery Drilling in a Gold Bull Market
In a recent interview with Resource Stock Digest, Almadex CEO Morgan Poliquin shares insight into the company’s U.S.-focused exploration strategy and growing momentum.
Building on a legacy of multiple discoveries in Mexico, Almadex has strategically pivoted to the western United States by assembling a portfolio of copper-gold porphyry and epithermal prospects based on a well-defined regional geological thesis. With its own drill rigs, experienced technical team, and a strong working capital position of approximately C$20 million, the company is now actively advancing its projects, starting with the Paradise Project in Nevada, where a four hole scout drilling program is currently underway.
Morgan emphasizes Almadex’s commitment to early-stage, high-impact exploration. With a growing pipeline and multiple targets identified, the company is entering a pivotal exploration phase, one that could lay the foundation for future discovery.
